very little society or culture (and certainly no subculture) would exist if we all always strictly followed the advice of infectious disease epidemiologists

Also odd how these things all collapse. If you want to be critical of, say, punitive border policies (I am!) you're suddenly an anti-masker (it would be odd for an anti-masker to have accepted a delivery of 50 FFP2s yesterday...)
If you don’t support strict measures, that means you don’t take covid seriously, so you are a minimiser & covid-denier. It’s probably why some ppl internalised the mainstream view so not to be seen as an outlier as @johnharris1969 eloquently writes here.

As a liberal centre-left person who is hugely pro-vaxx but uncomfortable with vaxx passports beyond very limited use, I feel this. I really resent the way taking anything short of a "bring 'em on!" position on VPs comes close to being equated with anti-vaxx in some quarters.

There are people taking that view in politics, notably the Liberal Democrats.* But far fewer than I would like. * Though their position seems a bit more hardline than mine. I would very reluctantly accept them as a strictly temporary thing for large indoor events this winter.

Lockdown Sydney is NOTHING compared to lockdown Khayelitsha. While it's appreciated that even The Guardian is finally saying something - it's vapid to me.

Not a very wise comment
@mugecevik This is simply not true, and what you say only invites further damaging divisions among people. Strict 'measures' obviously cause damage and damages and negative consequences should be assessed on all strategies. -

And you haven't understood John's article at all.

It is her tweet that is being misunderstood in some of the replies in this thread. Read it again and her other tweets and you will see this.
